Description:
The Bible and Its Wines by Charles Wesley Ewing presents a detailed defense of total biblical abstinence from alcoholic beverages. Examining ancient linguistic roots, historical commentary, and key Scriptural passages, Ewing argues that biblical references to “wine” distinguish between unfermented grape juice and intoxicating fermented drinks.
Published by the Prohibition National Committee (with a distributor label for Kingdom Digest of Dallas, Texas), this eighth edition booklet offers a compelling look at 20th-century temperance theology, Christian social ethics, and biblical textual analysis.
